"2nd Battalion, 2nd Nassau Regiment in Spain" Topic

Hi all,
With the completion of the second battalion of the 2nd Nassau Regiment in Spain, I am one step closer to completing the orders of battle for Talavera.

If you would like to know more and see pictures of the complete regiment, then just follow the link to JJ's

Jon,
You've done a lovely job with some fairly mediocre starting material. Any reason you chose the Warmodelling figures rather than the alternatives?

Great looking unit! I am currently expanding my British in 6mm for a Peninsular "campaign",and(as a Bonapartist)am kinda bored of painting red and grey. This unit will make a great diversion!
Cheers

Hi Malc,

Thank you. I have gone for the Warmodelling figures because I there is something about them that really captures the campaign look that I wanted. They also seem to work well alongside AB which I am happy to add in where appropriate, such as a personality figure like a Colonel or in this case the officer on the front of the command stand.

They take a bit of working as I am regularly replacing Colour staffs and I have had to do a bit of prep work on the Dutch which I will go through when they're done. I hope I have demonstrated that these are a range to include alongside the others and as you know I use Xan, AB, Warmoddeling and Campaign Game Miniatures as I think they all bring something to the overall look of the armies and generally work well alongside each other.

There has never been a better time to get into Napoleonics in 18mm in my humble opinion.

I'm interested to see what you do with the Dutch as they are a real problem – Warmodelling are the only option out there in the larger sized 15mm unless you want to do conversion work.
